Cool Stuff

Gentle Giant Studios, in conjunction with Dark Horse
Comics, debuted their highly detailed Star Wars mini busts
at Celebration 2. Created using their proprietary Real Scan technology,
the initial wave, due to be released in June, features Anakin Skywalker,
Jango Fett, Count Dooku, Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and
Mace Windu. As a special for the event, Dark Horse was selling the
Mace bust for $45 each. The busts are limited to 2500 pieces and
preorders for the other characters were being taken as well.

"I'm really excited about our new busts and see
the quality and expectations I had for it," said Gentle Giant
founder and president Karl Meyer, "We plan on a lot more Star
Wars stuff coming up. We are gonna be going into the Lucasfilm
archives and scanning the original Darth Vader and Stormtroopers
and a lot of the other props and doing models based on those. What
were striving to do is that we're trying to give the collector something
that is based off of the real geometry that is taken from the characters
and the actors."

Expect to see busts of Darth Vader and Yoda coming
later this year. Yoda will be made utilizing CGI animation created
by ILM.

For Celebration 2, Gentle Giant brought along their
scanner to scan the heads of 60 people per day. One contestant from
each day will have a Jedi Knight mini bust made from their likeness!
Needless to say, based on their initial offerings and awesome exhibit
at C2, we can expect greater things in the future from Gentle Giant
Studios.
